2021 C-cert Activities Approved for ABPN Self-Assessment Credits

6-3-2021 The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) has approved the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties’ (UCNS) application for ABPN Self-Assessment credits to be granted for completion of the 2021 UCNS Continuous Certification (C-cert) activities. ABPN approved the 2021 C-cert program as a part of a comprehensive self-assessment (SA) program, which is mandated by the American Board of Medical Specialties as a necessary component of maintenance of certification. 

Diplomates will now have the opportunity to earn up to 11 ABPN SA credits in addition to up to 11 AMA PRA Category 1^TM credits for meeting the 2021 UCNS C-cert requirements. The total credits earned are based on the actual time spent completing the 2021 C-cert activities up to a maximum of 11 credit hours contingent on passing the C-cert quiz.  Confirmation of the credits earned is emailed to diplomates within ten business days of passing the 2021 C-cert subspecialty quiz(zes).

Diplomates eligible for ABPN SA credits should attest to the credits in their ABPN Physician Folios account at www.abpn.com/folios.
